100 Facebook 'Friends' Show Up to Back Bullied Student

100 Facebook 'Friends' Show Up to Back Bullied Student
After a Facebook post about a teen being demeaned for having no friends, 100 people in cars arrived at the school the next day, one after another, clogging the parking lot to rally their support.

Halsey Parkerson ate lunch with his aunt on the South Salem High School campus last week and overheard a demeaning comment about the Junior class student having no friends.

So she contacted her car club on Facebook and asked them to show up the following day and become a force of friendship for the teen.

50 cars arrived, one after another, clogging the parking lot to rally with support.

"It's just unbelievable," Parkerson told KATU. "I now know whenever I get bullied I'll raise my head up and say, ‘Sorry, I have too many friends to think I'm being bullied.'"

When the offending student was approached by Parkerson and his new Facebook chums he immediately recanted, offered a sincere high-five and apology.
